ArchiMate Weekend training: next course 27/28 September & 04/05 October

Many thanks to the delegates for their valuable feedback on recent courses.

Here is a selection of delegate feedback:

" Thank you for explaining the necessary steps to map out our organisations capabilities - it was extremely useful to discuss the best approach and see other examples from different organisations."

" Many thanks for providing a practical guide and relaxed environment where we could work through scenarios, discuss as a group and see the bigger picture "

" I found the practical exercises extremely beneficial and now looking forward to using ArchiMate at the office."

" The course enabled me to understand where we can use the ArchiMate modelling to support to the modelling we already cover at Project Level. I am looking forward to getting back to the office and using it for developing our own model"

" I can really see the benefit of the Migration Planning and Motivation extensions - I aim to use these to get more traction with the business - not only does it clearly communicate the baseline and target to the technical team, the views encourages collaboration and understanding for business and project management stakeholders"

On site courses often include debate on how best to approach particular organisational debate on how best to develop their enterprise architecture. Public courses also benefit from classroom debate where various scenarios encountered by delegates can be outlined and discussed on potential approaches.

Connecting the Architectural world to the Operational World

We can all agree that ArchiMate is a mechanism to model the architecture of an organisation. In this we mean we model the “types” of things in the organisation rather than actual instances of things. Our world is one of standard patterns and designs which can be implemented again and again. For instance, if we use construction as our example, we might hold a pattern library of standard design constructs. A door will be 37 inches wide and 6 feet and 8 inches high with 3 hinges at 10 inches from either end and one in the centre with a handle and catch placed 42 inches from the top. We can use this standard pattern in all our designs. We can have a standard pattern for a bathroom stating it must have a bath, shower, sink and lavatory, a door (to our standard pattern stated elsewhere), and any principles that govern this room such as electrical safety or min and max distances and any requirements we might place on the components. We can then build designs using these patterns. Our bathroom will have these components of these make and model, placed in these positions, connected in this way etc. We are not modelling instances of the bathroom traditionally.
